The majority of individuals never give thought to themselves becoming ill and having to go into hospital or to the doctors’, as the National Health Service pays the cost. But what happens if your cat becomes ill or has an accident – who pays the costs? Well if you do not have cat insurance, then you do.

If you have cat insurance it will pay towards the medical costs and vet’s bills and give peace of mind for a range of other things. When you consider the medical costs alone, insurance for your pet can be well worth the money.

If your cat needs to have an MRI scan for instance, this alone cost upwards of £1,000. Treatment for an illness such as arthritis or diabetes could cost many hundreds of pounds a year. Then there may be costs associated with an accident, these could run into many thousands of pounds. Now can you see why taking out cat insurance may be worthwhile?

Cat insurance does not have to cost a small fortune. There are usually different levels and plans so it is affordable. Even if your policy doesn’t pay out the full costs of medical treatment it could pay a substantial sum towards them.
